First of all ranting is sometimes good, go check out the angry thread :D

And it wasn't nit-picking. You have an opinion that Stoke will struggle. Your using playground rhetoric 101 doesn't make it any more likely. It certainly isn't a 'fact'. It's an opinion, and people presenting their opinions as facts makes me want to rant.
You're. :wink:

Define struggle, coz if you mean go down you're off your rocker. Teams Stoke are better than:

Us, Wolves, Newcastle, Sunderland, Blackpool, West Brom, West Ham, Wigan. And there's not much between Blackburn, Fulham, Brum and them.

Still doesn't make £8million for Kenwyne Jones not f*cking mental though.
Sunderland puzzle me, they've spent more money in the last 3/4 years than we have in our entire history (probably), and I still think we'll finish higher :?
Troll and proud of it.

How financially sound are Stoke. It seems they are taking some big financial risks.

The guy who owns Stoke is fecki' loaded apparently! 25th richest man in British Sport.... Not bad, that!

He owns Bet365 amongst other firms

Hmmm.. They're owned by 'Cube Limited' who are a company registered in the Isle of Man. I wonder if there any Eddie Davies links?

Stoke have comfortably avoided relegation the past two seasons and don't seem to have lost anybody valuable. No shakeups in management. Added some decent players. Why would they struggle this term?

Indeed, and there's plenty more to them than just Stretch Armstrong's throw-ins.
